18. Mind if I Come In? by K.L. Phelps
Sun Oct 15, 2023, 10:21 PM
Oct 2023

First in a series. I am about half through and am enjoying it. Lots of humor woven into the dialogue.
Book 1 supplies very little of Katrina's backstory; it's hard not to think something is missing. However, we will find out how Katrina got into her situation in a future book.

On a recent trip to Vegas, Katrina Parker really crapped out. Married, widowed, and with no memory of either event, Kat suddenly develops the ability to communicate with comatose people. But what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there — especially when it comes to the supernatural. Even back in Houston, trouble still haunts her.

After agreeing to try to help the coma-stricken daughter of a mob boss, Kat discovers the assault that placed the poor girl in the hospital was only the beginning. Aided by her amnesic vampire housemate, a former Vegas detective, a spunky turtle, and a man who may or may not have a neck, Kat vows to discover who is behind it all … before she becomes the next victim.

I have books 2 and 3 and will probably dive into them next.
